Not exactly sleepy. WPS is hiring which is pretty impressive considering THIS ECONOMY.
FIFA recently did a women’s football roundup which is worth a read. In short…
* Brazil’s Santos FC – featuring Marta and Cristiane – won the inaugural Copa Libertadores 9-0 over Paraguay’s Universidad Autonoma.

(Spotted over at ONTD football)
Angela Hucles retired from professional soccer effective immediately. Coach Tony loses yet another player from his 2009 roster, Pia loses a midfielder for the upcoming friendly against Germany, and Hucles thinks maybe now she’ll try real estate. Of course. Makes perfect sense.
Speaking of, Megan Rapinoe had knee surgery [...]

Here are some links to pass the time while you ponder what exactly was that photographer thinking in the above photo shoot?
I was wondering about this whole free agency thing and the USWNT contracts. Luckily, it’s all been cleared up in a lone twitter. Those players who haven’t yet resigned with their 2009 [...]

Today was all a-twitter as Philly and ATL got to pick five international players each to stock their rosters. But, assuming similar rules apply from last year’s international draft, both expansion teams really picked five players each with whom they have the exclusive rights to negotiate a contract.
